| France would be Il friend or an enemy in
event OF the adoption OF any particular
policy played very important part.

emphasis which was all very well if his re-
erences were correct but before emphas1,
ing he ought to have understood the polit-
ical situation and recent events there.

had a stroung desire to obtain the pope's
support, first against the Fenians and
later against the Parnellites, and indeed
no secret had been made OF the fact.
